The Land of Russia
The Greater Caucasus Range extends from the Caucasian
Natural Reverse in the vincinity of Sochi on the northeastern
shore of the Black Sea, generally treading east-southeast and
reaching nearly to Baku on the Caspian Sea, while the Lesser
Caucasus runs parallel to the greater range, at a distance
averageing about 100km (62mi) south.
The Meskheti Range is a part of the Lesser Caucasus system. The
Greater and Lesser Caucasus ranges are connected by the Likhi Range,
which separates the Kolkhida Lowland from the Kura-Aras Lowland.
In the southeast are the Talysh Mountains.
The Lesser Caucasus and the Armenian Highland constitute
the Transcaucasian Highland. The highest peak in the Caucasus
range is Mount Elbrus in the Greater Caucasus, which rises to a height
of 5, 642 metres (18,510 ft) above sea level. Mountains near Sochi
will host part of the 2014 Winter Olympics.
The East European Plain (also known as Russian Plain)
isa plain comprising a series of river basins in Eastern
Europe. Together with the Northern European Plain it
constitutes the European Plain. It is the largest mountain-free
part of the European landscape.
The plain spans approximately 4,000,000
square kilometers (1,544,408.6 sq mi)
and average about 170 moetres (557.7 ft) in
elevation. The highest point of the plain,
located in the Valdai Hills is 346.9 metres
(1,138.1ft).
The total access to water supply and sanitation
in Russia in 2004 was btween 76 and 90% and
100%.
The geography of Russia describes the geographic features of
Russia, a country extending over much of north Asia, it is the
world's largest country in total area. Due to its size, Russia
displays both monotony and diversity.
As with its topography, its climates, vegetation, and soils span vast
distances. From north to south the East European Plain is clad
sequentially in tundra, coniferous forest (taiga), mixed and broad-
leaf forests, grassland (steppe), and semi-desert (fringing the Caspian Sea)
as the changes in vegetation reflect the changes in climate.'
Located in the northern and middle latitudes ofcloser
the Northern Hemisphere, most of Russia is much
closer to the North Pole than to the equator.
The demographics of Russia is about the
demographic features of the population of the
Russian Federation density, ethnic compositon,
educationlevel, health, economic status and other
aspects.
According to an official estimate for 1
October 2012, the population of Russia
was 143,300,000.
Russian culture is the culture associated
with the country of Russia and, sometimes,
specifically with ethnic Russians. It has a long
history and can claim a long tradition of dividend
in many aspects of the arts, especially when it
comes to literature and philosophy, classical music
and ballet.
The Government of the Russian Fediration
exercises excutive power in the Russian Federation.
The members of the government are the Prime
Minister of Russia (Chairman of the Government),
the deputy prime ministers.
The history of Russia begins with that of te Eastern
Slavs an the Finno-Ugric peoples. The state of
Garoariki (the realm of towns) which was centered
in Novgorod and included the entire areas inhabited
by llmen Slavs, Veps and Votes, was established
by the Varangian chieftain Rurik in 862 (the traditional
beginning of Russian history).
Kievan Rus, the first united East Slavic state, was
founded by Ruik's successor Oleg of Novgorod in
882. The state adopted Christianity from the Byzantine
Empire in Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined
Russian culture for the next millennium.
The economy of Russia i the Eighth
largest economy in the world by nominal
value and the sixth largest by purchasing
power parity (PPP).
Russia economy is today considered by IMF
and World Bank a developing one. Russia has an
abundance of Fossil Fuels (Oil, Natural gas
and coa) and precious metals.
Economics reforms in the 1990s privatized
many sectors of the 190s privatized many
secors of the industry and agriculture, with
notable exceptions in the energy and defense-
related sectors.
The foreign relations of Russia is the
poolicy of the Russian government
by which it guides the interactions
with other nations, their citizens and
foreign organizations and sets standards
of interactions for Russian orginizations,
corporations and individual ciizens
towards them.
Aleksei A. Navalny, the opposition
leader and one of the most promnent
politicians to go in trial in modern Russia,
used his first full day in court on Wendnesday
so say the trial would prove his innocence,
even if the judge convicted him.
Thr trial, streamed on the internet, has promised
to be an important touchstone in President Vladimir V.
Putin's long career, as prosecutors have not previously
indicated a high profile politician. But if has gotten off to
a languid start. Works Cited Google. N.p., n.d. Web. 26 Apr. 2013. World Geography and Cultures. N.p.: n.p., n.d. Print.
